Lupe: As a Gay Man I Had Internalized Homophobia Until I Was 59 Secret Life

Lupe’s family immigrated from Mexico to Washington State in the early 50s. He battled internal homophobia because the way his culture regarded being a macho man and the negative connotation connected to being gay. He also struggled with his dark skin and the desire to find an older white man like he saw on television, as his partner and to fulfill his daddy issues.

This episode is jam-packed with old beliefs that Lupe stripped away while he discovered more about himself and his behaviors in SLAA (Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous).

Topics in this episode include Internalized Homophobia, gay pride, sex addiction, love addiction, shame, and self-love.
